Re: Official Election 2008 thread
but if you want to send a message to both the dems and the repugs, vote for ron paul. let them know that even though the numbers show that Muslims vote in LARGE numbers vs. most of the american population, and that we usually vote as a block, that they cannot take our votes for granted. in India, the secular parties for years have played off Muslim voters like this. i should say for decades. even Bush managed to split the arab-american vote in all important MIchigan, by appealing to the Iraqi shia's and the assyiran christians who are just fanatical about him.
and one can argue that their is no real difference between either of the two major parties, that both the dems and the repugs are the same when it comes to Muslim issues. Just one is more honest than the other. The Parties of India play this game too when it comes to Muslims over there. every four years some politican desperatly needing votes, will come around pander to the Muslims, and make promises he really doesnt mean. Bush himself came to Michigan in 2000 and said 'the U.S. should be more receptive to arab views', and look what kind of monster he turned out to be for us.
but if you truley dont want to see the repugs back in the white house, the democrats have to nominate a candidate who can beat a repug in november. a candidate who can take on a repug in the republican party heartland in the south, and in all important Ohio. a candidate who can get independent voters to swing thier votes thier way and away from the repugs, in the all important battleground states that i listed in previous posts. because thats how this election is going to be decided.
and i honestly dont think hillary can beat a repug in november. she is the democrat that the repugs want to represent for thier party in november, because the republican attack machine is full set and gear to get her, and get her good. they have always hated this woman with a deep passion and they feel they can beat her. while all the political pundits are saying that obama is a republicans worst nightmare. i say this because in 04' the democrats had someone who could have beaten bush in the novemeber elections and that was a former general Wesely Clark. He himself stated that the 04' election will be about 'national security' and he was right! one political pundit even wrote he is "karl rove's (Dubya's campaign manager) worst nightmare". This guy would have beaten bush, and he would have stolen republican votes away from bush. instead the idoit democrats went with kerry and played right into the GOP's plan. he was the man that they wanted dubya to run against, the day after he won the primaries, the RNC chairman held a press conference standing over volumes of volumes kerry's voting record in the senate. and if the democrats make the same mistake again and vote for hillary to be on the ballot in november, the same GOP attack dogs will be on her, and they will get her and get her good in battleground states, such as Ohio, kentucky, arkansas (believe it or not), tennesee, virginia and west virginia.
Not only that, your average repug hates hillary. they cannot stand this woman with a passion. i was a republican once, for many years. i still am opposed to anti-male feminist propoganda, i still am opposed to abortion, i dont believe in affirmative action, I am practically a social conservative. I even support school vouchers! i used to listen to rush limbaugh all the time, i know exactly how much they despise this woman.
and if hillary is on that ballot for the democrats in november... watch out! you will only inspire all the repugs, many of whom are like myself dissaffected or disatisfied with this christian zionist/neo-con hijacking of the party, and those people would otherwise sit home on election night in november, will come out in droves out of fear of a hillary clinton white house. already john mccain is running ad's scaring the apathetic GOP voters of a hillary-run white house. and if divorced men, and all those men stuck paying alimony think they have it bad now, imagine the queen of the feminazis at the helm with all the power in her hands? that's all i gotta say.
